So said the Swedish soccer star in a post on Instagram on Thursday after undergoing knee surgery in Lyon. Therefore, according to the forecast, he will be out for seven to eight months. The 40-year-old wants to continue his career, his contract with Milan expires at the end of June.
“For the past six months I’ve been playing without the anterior cruciate ligament in my left knee,” said Ibrahimovic. He had a swollen knee for six months, only did ten training sessions with the team, had fluid drained from the joint once a week, took painkillers every day, hardly slept and had never suffered so much on and off the field.
“I made the impossible possible,” said the generally rather immodest striker, who has been a key motivator for the young Milan team in Serie A this season. “I had only one goal in mind, to make my team-mates and my coach Italian champions, because that’s what I promised. Today I have a new cruciate ligament and another trophy.”
